Chapter 151 520 Game
"Pfft." Gu Xing spat out a mouthful of tea onto the ground and coughed for a long time.
Xu Songning is so funny. What's with this "look at the situation" nonsense? If someone likes her, does she already have a boyfriend? If someone doesn't like her, does she just honestly say she doesn't have one?
The man was also caught off guard, scratching his head, "Huh? What's going on?"
Xu Songning smiled without saying a word, and the others quickly changed the subject, "Come and try this dish! By the way, didn't you say you were going to buy a house? Where are you planning to buy it?"
Xiang Yun sighed inwardly. Sister Xu was too popular, which was a bit of a headache. Her outfit today was too eye-catching.
After dinner, the group discussed where to continue the party. Those with partners subtly indicated they needed to go home to their girlfriends that night, while those without partners insisted on going out.
Gu Xing was going home to spend the evening with his girlfriend, so he helped him think of a few options. "A KTV is the best place. You can enjoy the air conditioning and relax. It's great!"
"What's so great about this? You might as well come to my bar. I have an event tonight," Zhou Qiao scoffed. She couldn't go out tonight either; she had to go back to the bar to manage things.
"Wow, so you own a bar? You're young and promising."
"Shall we go? Maybe we'll even meet someone we like at the bar."
"You're overthinking it, you're dreaming!"
"Walk!"
At Zhou Qiao's command, all the singles who didn't need to accompany their partners followed her. Xu Songning pulled Lu Xiaomeng into Xiang Yun's car, and also brought one of Xiang Yun's friends along.
The remaining two people got into the car with Zhou Qiao, while Gu Xing was responsible for arranging for the remaining married people to go home.
It was already dark when they arrived at the bar.
But the nightlife at the bar is just beginning.
Zhou Qiao arranged for everyone to sit in the best booths, saying, "Tonight we'll also have a resident singer who specializes in love songs; I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
“I can sing too,” Qin You said quietly.
Zhou Qiao glared at him, her eyes clearly conveying the message: don't cause trouble.
As soon as they entered the bar, Zhou Qiao made Qin You put on a mask. His fame wasn't what it used to be, and if he were recognized, it would cause a lot of chaos.
Fortunately, the bar was dimly lit. She tugged at Qin You's mask and warned him, "Keep your mask on and don't take it off."
"Hmm," Qin You replied listlessly.
"I'll get back to work now, everyone enjoy your meal." Zhou Qiao said goodbye and left, with Qin You, her accomplice, following suit.
The waiter quickly brought over drinks and various snacks, which were laid out on the table.
"We haven't ordered yet," someone said.
The waiter set out the plates. "These are a gift from our boss. Happy birthday, Mr. Xiang."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for your hospitality," Xiang Yun said, taking out his wallet and slipping a small tip onto the plate.
The waiter smiled broadly and sweetly accepted the tip, saying, "Have a great time!"
At Zhou Qiao's gathering, nothing is complete without alcohol. Xiang Yun has strong self-control; even if he doesn't fly the plane tomorrow, he will only have a sip or two.
Everyone tried to get him to drink, but he always refused with the same excuse: "I have to drive later."
"If you don't drink while driving, then can Miss Xu drink?"
Xiang Yun was annoyed. He found it harder to accept that Xu Songning was making him drink than he was making himself drink. He wanted to help refuse, but Xu Songning spoke first, "I can't hold my liquor. Let Qiaoqiao's boyfriend drink with you later."
When they heard that the boss's boyfriend was going to drink with them, they chickened out. The man looked strong and could easily outdrink all of them, so they had no choice but to wave their hands repeatedly.
Xu Songning smiled, opened a can of drink for herself, and Lu Xiaomeng pointed to the can of drink in front of Xiang Yun and whispered, "Sister Xu, I want to drink that one."
"Want to drink that? Who sold Sister Xu's work hours? Tell me." Xu Songning raised an eyebrow.
Lu Xiaomeng gently patted her arm and whispered coquettishly, "Oh, Sister Xu, who is that Captain Xiang? Of course I told him when he asked me."
"What benefits did I give you?" Xu Songning handed over the drink.
"Why should I ask for anything in return? If you two get together, wouldn't that be a wonderful thing? For my sister Xu's happiness, I, Lu Xiaomeng, will of course help without hesitation!" Lu Xiaomeng said firmly. In her own eyes, she was the guardian of Sister Xu and Captain Xiang's love.
Xu Songning gave a bitter smile. She knew that after tonight, everything might be different, and the Love Protectors would be useless. She could only pray for the best.
Xiang Yun and Xu Songning were sitting in a booth, and countless people came over to chat them up. Even though the people in front of them were rejected, the people behind them still went forward without hesitation.
After turning down the tenth person tonight, Xu Songning rubbed his forehead and sent a message to Zhou Qiao, "Get me a light, we don't want to be disturbed at this table."
To Xu Songning's surprise, the lamp was delivered personally by Zhou Qiao. At the same time, she also brought two decks of playing cards. "Good evening, everyone. Did you enjoy the meal?"
"I'm so happy, thank you, Boss Zhou." Lu Xiaomeng blew her a kiss from afar.
Zhou Qiao made a heart shape with her hands from a distance, then pressed the heart shape against her face.
"Boss Zhou, what's this trick up your sleeve today?" Xu Songning flicked the playing cards.
Zhou Qiao smiled mysteriously and explained the rules of the game to her.
"Two decks of cards are used. The pair of Jokers is removed, and the remaining cards are paired up by matching suits and ranks. Men draw from one side, and women draw from the other. Any extra cards are discarded. Opposite-sex players can see each other's bottom cards. If they happen to form a pair, they will receive today's participation prize, while the two players who obtained the Jokers will receive tonight's grand prize."
"What's the grand prize? Cash or a prize?" someone asked with a laugh.
Zhou Qiao shook her index finger and smiled happily, "I can't reveal the prizes in advance, but I'll allow you to draw cards early. Come on, give it a try, you won't lose anything anyway."
The people present looked at each other, urging each other to reach for the pile of cards to Zhou Qiao's left and randomly pick one.
“Here, Captain Xiang, pick a card too.” Zhou Qiao handed the cards to Xiang Yun. “It’s your birthday today, let’s see how lucky the birthday boy is.”
"Hey, Mr. Zhou, isn't there some inside story here?" someone nearby teased.
Zhou Qiao clicked her tongue and put two stacks of cards on the table. "Come on, come on, you shuffled the cards. You just drew them randomly. How could there be any inside story?"
One of them took the cards, shuffled them again, and placed them in front of Xiang Yun.
Xu Songning watched with great interest. She reached out to another pile of cards and said, "Shuffle this one too, I'll draw one too."
Hearing that she also wanted to draw a card, Xiang Yun swallowed back the words she was about to say in refusal. She glanced at the deck, drew the top card, and placed it on the table.
Xu Songning took the shuffled cards, raised an eyebrow at Xiang Yun, and drew a card from the bottom.
